Workshop - In 2010, NETWO will also present a dynamic workshop on Friday afternoon, April 23. This is an absolute must for writers who want to improve their books. This will be an intensive, interactive, hands on workshop entitled "If you aren't published, we'll show you why." This 3 hour workshop will be led by Dusty Richards. If you've heard Dusty before, you know he keeps you alert, can spot problems quickly, and knows how to fix them. He gives workshops across several states. You won't be disappointed. Check out his bio by clicking here.

This is a detailed, carefully constructed workshop. You will learn how to improve your characters. And at $25 for a 3 hour workshop, this is a big bargin. Click here for more details.

Accommodations - We have information on lodging - motels, hotels, and bed & breakfasts. But, one option will be dorm space at a very affordable price, in the same building as the main conference site. NETWO has negotiated a good rate; those who stayed there last year had a good time, and this year, we're planning some entertainment Friday after the reception. For more information on accommodations, click here.

Conference Dinner - The Writers Roundup will close with a dinner. This is optional, but the cost is only $12. The winners of the NETWO Short Story Contest will be announced at the dinner, as well as some NETWO and conference awards.

But most of all, it will be a final opportunity to network. Hopefully, you will have met many writers, plus the agents and editor. With all the presentations during the day, you might not have gotten a phone number or e-mail address you wanted. Besides a good meal, you'll have time to collect those contacts, and maybe make one last "good impression" on an editor, or agent. (They will be staying for the dinner.)

Venue - Again this year, the NETWO Writer's Roundup conference will be held at Camp Shiloh, between Pittsburg, Mt. Pleasant, and Mt. Vernon, Texas. Located on the shores of Lake Bob Sandlin, on Highway 21, Camp Shiloh offers excellent facilities, and a beautiful setting.

The organizing committee believes this site provides excellent facilities, a beautiful setting, a separate dining facility adjacent to the conference hall (no distraction around lunch time), acceptable space for private interviews with agent, editor, or publisher, a wider variety of accomodations, and good rest room facilities. And NETWO has purchased its own sound system, so everybody should be able to hear easily and clearly.

The grounds offer activities for family members not directly involved in the conference, as well as conference participants - when they are not in meetings. Check out some pictures by clicking here.
